To aZZ whom it may concern 'Be it known that I, INGERsoLL T. TORREY, acitizen of the United States of America, temporarily residing at Beeton,Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and ImprovedCombination-Tool, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention consists of a novel combination-tool, more especiallyintended for the use of railroad-men for cutting the wires and tin clipsused in sealing freight-cars and packages, and combines in one toolshears, tack-hammer, claw for pulling tacks, and a screwdriver. D

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my new combinatioirtool as it appears whenthe cutting-blades are closed; and Fig. 2 is a similar view of the toolas it appears when the blades of the shears are open.

A 13 represent two cross-pivoted blades.

These are formed, respectively, with the bows a b like the bows of anordinary pair of shears. The cutting portion 0 of blade B beyond thepivot d is made very short, and the cuttingedge 0' thereof is made onaline with the pivot (I, as shown. The cutting portion 0 of the blade Abeyond the pivot dismade somewhat longer than the cutting portion 0 ofthe blade B, and this portion a is reduced in width at its extremity toform the screw-driver blade f, and

in the use of the tool for drawing tacks. bow at of the tool is formedwith the hammerhead for driving tacks, and for other purposes forwhieh ahammer may be needed.

Constructed in this manner the tool is very convenient and useful, andwell adapted for the use of railroadagents, traveling advertis:ingagents, train men, and also for general household use.
